    New Feature: News Fe

    As im sure you can see on the forums. We built a program that will go out and download the latest news from the following sources:

    -IGN
    -Teamxbox
    -Gamespot
    -Teamxbox
    -Gamespy

    I think this new feature (though somewhat simple) makes a lot of sense , and a worth while addition.
    Enjoy guys!

    Very nice feature. It should be on the front page than it is next to "65 registered users visit during the last 24 hours". It is just me.

    I'm really liking this feature 8) I normally don't visit gaming sites unless I'm looking for something specific.

    However, I find myself clicking some of these links because of convenience.

    For instance, I just read about the game "APB". I would've probably skipped this under normal circumstances (such as browsing a gaming site looking for something).

    Ya diddo juji. When i thought up the idea i didn't think it was going to be as useful as it has for me. I always scroll down to make an effort to read the latest headlines, and i can see other's too are using it... That "real" golf game got a lot of hits quick

    Yep, that's what I do as well.

    I know the count shows how many LGers have viewed that link, but does it reset every day? I'm thinking it does since some of the links I viewed yesterday are now showing as zero.

    I think that's cool too because it shows what interests this site's members.
